The title “Zenshu” means “fixing things” or “starting from scratch,” a term used in the anime industry. That is also one of the memorable lines of the main character Narutoko.
Official Summary: After graduating from high school, Hirose Hirose begins his career as an animator. Her talent quickly flourished and she soon debuted as a director. Her first anime became a huge hit, causing a social phenomenon and helping her be recognized as a promising genius director. Her next project will be a romantic comedy themed about first love! However, having never been in love herself, Natsko had difficulty understanding the concept of first love and as a result, she was unable to create storyboards, causing the film's production to come to a standstill.
